"Boom! Boom! Boom!" At 02:00 local time on July 4, 2025, the Russian military launched a large-scale bombing campaign against the entire territory of Ukraine. This time, the suicide drone attacks by Russia on Kyiv lasted for 11 hours and seem not to have ended yet. After the large-scale drone attacks by Russia, there were signs of fires, one of which was at the airport of the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade in the southwest of Kyiv, where Patriot air defense missiles are deployed. If the production of the Iranian "motorcycle," Shahed-136 suicide drones, increases, then the Shahed-136 suicide drones can be used as FPV suicide drones. The Ukrainian authorities also released footage of the bombing by the Russian forces, which is a video that the Ukrainian authorities have prohibited civilians from releasing, indicating a request for support in obtaining air defense systems from the United States and the West (Figure 1).
Following this, Tom Bowman, a reporter from the Pentagon press team, revealed that a batch of ammunition intended for Ukraine had been intercepted by the US authorities in Poland: 92 AIM-9 air-to-air missiles (equipped with the Ukrainian armed forces' Frankensteins air defense missile system), 30 Patriot-3 air defense missiles; 8,496 155mm shells; 142 AGM-114 Hellfire missiles; 252 laser-guided rockets; 25 Stinger shoulder-fired air defense missiles; 125 AT-4 rocket launchers, etc. After all, President Trump's decision to stop providing air defense missiles and other weapons has affected the survival of Ukraine. If Ukraine runs out of air defense missiles, especially Patriot and air defense missiles, major cities in Ukraine will be unable to resist the large-scale attacks by Russian drones, hypersonic missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles. The United States can no longer afford to provide air defense missiles to Ukraine. A single Patriot air defense missile costs $3 million, while an Iranian "motorcycle" costs only $10,000. Recently, the Iranian "motorcycle" has started to be equipped with a device similar to the Stuka dive bomber's Jericho horn, which produces a loud roaring sound during the dive, creating a strong sense of pressure.
The dream of NATO is to use the oil and gas of Russia and the Middle East for free, while the United States wants to completely lock up the oil trade under the backing of the dollar. However, in Ukraine, it has been held back by Russia. For Russia, the longer the war continues, the more清醒 the Western countries become.
